She kept wondering why everyone that she loved so dearly left her. She kept asking why Allah being unfair to her? Why her mother died, and why Umam's (the naughty boy in her village) mother survived the tsunami. Why?
Why people kept saying she actually have more friends than any people in this world?
Why she lost her leg?
In the search of finding her answer, struggling with deep longing for her ummi(mother), Delisa actually by accident cheer other people around her. While her religious teacher, Ustaz Rahman himself cannot contain his sadness, almost giving up to live life again, Delisa 'taught him to be stronger and to be contented.
That girl, with one leg, still have her passion to play football while the other boys refused at first, still feeling gloomy with what happened.
That Delisa, still trying hard to memorize the prayer recitation. Though at first she did it for a necklace promised by her mother, but at the end she did it for Allah. She memorized everything so that her prayers will be perfect and accepted by ALLAH. And with a perfect prayer, Allah will accept her prayer for the loved one she lost.
Hafalan Shalat Delisa is a novel about a little girl name Delisa. But for me, Delisa is actually me, you and everybody. Delisa were always there inside of you.
